    They are pretty decent clothes and I will admit that the FEW things I have tried on there actually seem to fit VERY nicely.... but I refuse to buy ANYTHING from there.

    For me to pay $30 for a faded t-shirt and $70 for a pair of cargo shorts they would have to come with gold in the pockets and a lifetime guarantee.

    I'm one of the semi managers at American Eagle and the clothing is actually quite similar to abercrombie. In the quality and the style. Though Abercrombie has better jeans i must admit.

    i really like them both. i guess abercrombie is a little pricey, but if u want abercrombie styles for a little less try checking out hollisterco.com, if u want prices even lower than american eagle try aeropostale.com

    Yes, ridiculously overpriced! Every year when I take my daughter shopping for new clothes for school she is allowed to pick "ONE" thing from Abercrombie. Everything else we shop at American Eagle, Old Navy, Forever 21, etc. This year she chose a zip up hooded sweatshirt for her one Abercrombie purchase. Any guesses how much? .............................................................................................................

    Give up? okay, I'll tell ya. $75.00...Yes, I said SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS!
    For a sweatshirt!! Now that's insane!!!

    i like american eagle better in terms of price. abercrombie has nice clothes but im not willing to spend all that money. and i personally am a little "big", so abercrombie's clothes run a little small for me anyway

    Yes, they are overpriced, most of their clothes are made at oversea, the labor are much less expensive than made in the USA...well again, don't forget we are paying for the good looking models too.

    I have to agree. I've gotten $98 jeans at Abercombie & Fitch for $9-$13 before, which even the cashier was surprised about. xD But as long as you go to the back of the store, you can usually find really nice deals there. However, I really only shop there for quality, because Abercrombie's clothes do last quite a long time -- so I tend to stick with the basic shirts/pants that don't have the store name plastered all over them. Same with stores like American Eagle, Aero, etc. I don't feel comfortable walking around with a shirt that says I'm "Property of suchandsuchstore."

    i think abercrombie is a bit pricey when it comes to Ezra Fitch's designs, but i think it's because all the materials she uses. I personally don't like A&F that much but i think it's because the athmosphere that you can feel when you're in the shop, feels like they want to get your ass out of the earth and make you feel awful because you are not wearing faded jeans like they do BUT GUESS WHAT ABERCROMBIE!! YOU DON'T MAKE FASHION.. YOU ALWAYS DO THE SAME PREPPY-AMERICAN STYLE, YOU ALWAYS PRODUCE THE SAME SHIT FOR EVEN HIGHER PRICES EVERY SEASON! so, my final answer has to be yes, i think it's overpriced, but because of what they offer to you.

    I think both are a bit overpriced and over exaggerated. I was made fun of when I was younger for not wearing brand clothing so I suppose I have some resentment at them.

    Walmart or Meijer are just as good and a LOT cheaper. I don't do brand names.

    The clothes aren't overpriced compared to other brands, and there's such thing as a sale y'know people who say there pants are $70 obviously never been in the store. Hollister jeans highest is around $60. Abercrombie does charge a lot for there pants I'll admit but that's what there famous for.

    They have weekly markdowns, within a month those jeans are around $30 if that's to expensive then just wait a few days then it'll be $20 they go down at least $5-10 so it's not really $70 if you wait.

    T-shirts are the same, just wait & look at the sales there at least $10-30 depends on the style course. Does a $10 t-shirt sound too expensive? People who complain about the quality, you have to know how to take care of your clothes read the tags.

    Simply, if you don't like the store don't shop there & don't complain since you don't people that do shop there, they just like the clothes. Why do you even insist on complaining on fabric? For crying out loud there just clothes, make a big deal out of it.
